Question 1

What do I actually receive after purchasing?

Accepted Answer

You get access to copy the Vega JSON spec directly from this page. Build the code you want with the controls, then paste the spec into Ataytis Vega Studio inside Power BI Desktop — no file downloads, no image assets, and no third-party QR service.

Question 2

What is Ataytis Vega Studio?

Accepted Answer

Ataytis Vega Studio is our free, Microsoft-certified Power BI visual for rendering Vega specifications inside your reports. Install it once from Microsoft Marketplace in Power BI Desktop, then paste in any spec.

Question 3

How do I add this to my report?

Accepted Answer

1. Add a Vega Studio visual to your report canvas.
2. Click Edit in the visual toolbar.
3. Paste the JSON spec into the Vega editor tab.
4. Click Apply — the code renders instantly. Drop any field into the visual to switch it on; the spec does not read it.

Question 4

Does the QR code read data from my report?

Accepted Answer

No. The code is fixed at the moment you copy the spec, so it encodes exactly what you typed on this page and nothing else. A code that changed with a slicer would have to be generated inside the visual, and a certified visual cannot reach out to a QR service to do that.

Question 5

Can I make the code point at a different link per row?

Accepted Answer

Not in this version. Each copied spec carries one code, so a report offering several destinations uses one Vega Studio visual per code. That is a fair fit for the usual jobs — a link to the source system, a Wi-Fi code on a lobby dashboard, a contact card on a report footer.

Question 6

Will it actually scan?

Accepted Answer

The encoder follows the QR standard, and the code is built at an error correction level that tolerates a quarter of it being damaged. Two things break a QR code more often than anything else, and the page guards both: it never stretches the code, and it warns you when the colours you have chosen are too close together for a camera to separate.

Question 7

How much can one code hold?

Accepted Answer

Around 480 characters — comfortably more than a long URL, a Wi-Fi network, or a full contact card. If you do go past it the page says so, and shortening the content is all it takes.

Question 8

Is the Wi-Fi password safe in a code?

Accepted Answer

It is written into the code in plain text, because that is how the Wi-Fi QR format works — anyone who can photograph the code can recover the password. It is the right tool for a guest network on a lobby screen and the wrong one for anything else.

Question 9

Can I use it in Power BI Service?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once you publish your report to Power BI Service, the Vega Studio visual renders for any viewer on Pro or Premium Per User capacity. Custom visuals are not available in the free tier of Power BI Service.

Question 10

Can I use this in client reports or commercially?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once purchased, you can use the visual in any report for personal or commercial use. You may not resell or redistribute the raw JSON spec itself.
